Yeast overgrowth caused my son [and even me, when I have that problem]

Increase the meat.

You can probably rotate the foods that cause pink cheeks, so long as

that is the ONLY reaction he has. If you only give those foods 1-2x

per week, it is usually okay. But if there are OTHER reactions, then

stop giving those foods.

Yes, but it might be a " minor " reaction and the benefit from the food

might outweigh the minor reaction. I know several people who rotate

" minor reaction " foods without problems, and the reaction does diminish.

Can be die off, or intolerance to Nystatin, or a few other things.

It definitely can be difficult to determine. Do you keep a journal?

I have been there, my son tolerated nothing but I still had to feed

him. If your son has not had issues with chicken in the past, and you

have rotated it out and then re-added it without problems, then it is

probably okay to give him extra chicken if he is still hungry.
